Virtual assistant for individualized practical training on controller design *

摘要

In this work we present a virtual assistant to help instructors offer individualized practical training on controller design for linear systems. The virtual assistant is designed to be used together with Goodle GMS, a web application which offers services for the collection, storage and automatic grading of students exercises. Using the proposed scheme, an instructor can generate in an easy way and without having knowledge of programming, individualized exercises that can be graded automatically, ensuring that all the exercises have a solution and the same degree of difficulty. The platform has been tested in an automatic control course at the University of Seville during the 2013-14 academic year.
